The real nation who live in cottage have forgotten their manhood, their individuality.
Trodden under the foot of the Hindu, Mussulman, or Christian, they have come to think that they are born to be trodden under the foot of everybody who has money enough in his pocket.
They are to be given back their lost individuality. They are to be educated. …
Our duty is to put the chemicals together, the crystallisation will come through God's laws. Let us put ideas into their heads, and they will do the rest.
Now this means educating the masses.
